WEEKLY UPDATE  9-20-09
Dear Families,
We had a lovely time with those of you who joined us for our Equinox party. What a simple way for us to get to know one another and connect with old friends.
Your child and teachers will appreciate a nice pair of rubber boots in order that children may enjoy the unusual puddles on the playground. Barring boots, be sure your child has extra shoes (and clothes) on hand.
Thanks for going through your closets in order to contribute to our annual Rummage Sale. We also need and will be grateful for baked goods, tarps to cover tables, bags and hangers. Fliers are available in each classroom to post if you know of a place to do so. Volunteers for sorting and/or help on the day of the event are most welcome. Please sign up in your classroom so that we know who to expect. Thank you!
DATES TO LOOK OUT FOR:
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 9:30-1:00-ALL-SCHOOL FIELD TRIP to the COMMUNITY FARM where we will pick apples and pears. We will keep some for cooking and the Saplings class will deliver the rest to the Food Depot. We will need a few (dry) empty boxes to fill with fruit and DRIVERS to help us get there. Sign up with your teacher. Thank you!
